Sewn Lyrics
Give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
Give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
'Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood, made my head soft
And god knows
You got me sewn
Nah nah nah x8
Danny boy, don’t be afraid, to shake that ass, and misbehave
Danny boy, I now you got time, but what are you waiting for,
Anyway the dust may just blow away, if you wait for a windy day
But you may find the chance has passed you by
I can't do the walk
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend
Unless I pretend
So give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
So give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood, made my head soft
And god knows
You've got me sewn
Nah nah nah
Danny boy, don’t be a fool
Take upon to break the rule
Danny boy your lookin so low
You lookin like the dead grown old
Anyway the blues just may wash away, if you wait for a rainy day
But you may find, the chance had past you by
I can't do the walk
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend
Unless I pretend
So give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it
Give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
Cos you got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
You've got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
Yeah, yeah, yeah
oh Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
You stopped the blood, made my head soft
And god knows
You got me sewn
Danny boy, I now you got time, but what are you waiting for,
Anyway the dust may just blow away, if you wait for a windy day
But you may find the chance has passed you by
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend
Unless I pretend
So give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
You stopped the blood, made my head soft
And god knows
You've got me sewn
Take upon to break the rule
Danny boy your lookin so low
You lookin like the dead grown old
Anyway the blues just may wash away, if you wait for a rainy day
But you may find, the chance had past you by
I can't do the talk
I can't be your friend
Unless I pretend
Give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
You've got my heart in a headlock
You stopped the blood and made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
made my head soft
Yeah, yeah, yeah
oh Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The first time I really paid attention the lyrics when hearing this song as a single, the "I can't be your friend.." line immediately jumped out at me. To me, there was no other explanation than that the singer/lyricist was gay and was referring to his love for a straight man. Not that everyone doesn't deal with unrequited love and can relate to it; but it's such a common fear among gay men (and presumably women) that not only will the love be unreturned, but that it will in fact destroy your friendship, that I was sure only a gay man would have worded it that way. I googled the band right away and was proven correct.
Needless to say, I relate to it a bit too much...
@Chagrin @Chagrin I know this is an old post about "Sewn" by The Feeling, and I wanted to tell you that you were and are so accurate in your assessment of the song. Dan "Danny boy" portrayed his honest vulnerability so eloquently in the song. Thank you for commenting. I still love that song and was playing it a lot today. ^^

great song very catchy and jaunty and sweet has a bit of belle and sebastian there
Or he could be singing to himself - his name is Dan.
Sweet song....perfect for a summers day.
I love this song.
this is one of the best songs...summer is here!!!!
I see this more like a dialogue between a guy and a girl. Basically the girl is saying "don`t be such a wuss" and the guy replies "but you made me the wuss I am". :D
I totally love this song, i think it would be cool if they only did the piano to! Anywho.. I think this song is about a boy who isnt really outgoing ore social. And he meets this girl and falls totally in love with her, like almost obsessed! And than she is telling him in the song: come on live ur life, missbehave! And hes like: ill do whatever u want, ill be whatever you want me 2 be
I can't do the walk I can't do the talk I can't be your friend Unless I pretend
So he is pretending to be someone else just 2 be her friend or lover.
So give me the song and I'll sing it like I mean it Give me the words and I'll say them like I mean it
See hes lying! He will do everything for her/him (is he gay?)
Cos you got my heart in a headlock You stopped the blood and made my head soft And god knows You've got me sewn
That girl is fucks up his head. He's so obsessed and he's ye sewn!
love to see what somebody else thinksxxx
When he's saying Danny boy that's what a girl is saying to him (Lead singers name is Dan). It's about him meeting a really cool girl and treating her like a queen instead of being himself and living his own life.
Just an FYI, this is the free download of the week on iTunes!!
